Don't Knock the Rock Page #5

---

Boy, something tells me your father missed up on a few spankings somewhere along the line.

I parked it here just for us.

If you think I'm gonna go for a drive now...

Now, who said anything about driving?

I just want to talk. Get in.

Okay, start talking.

There.

Now I can always say I necked with Arnie Haines.

Necked?

You're the most scared man I ever did see.

I wish you were the most scared girl I ever saw.

Don't you know that in some countries, girls get married at 14?

That's it. You should go there.

By now, you'd be a great-grandmother.

You really are going to talk, aren't you?

Even if I can't think of a thing to say.

Well, try talking now.

You crazy kid!

What are you trying to do, mess me up and yourself along with me?

I could mess you up, Arnie Haines.

I could mess you up good.

Okay, if you're looking for a reason, you've got one.

And now, here's that real solid man of rock and roll...

Little Richard and Long Tall Sally.

Gonna tell Aunt Mary 'bout Uncle John,

He claim he has the misery but he's havin' a lot of fun,

Oh baby,

Yeah baby,

Woo~

Everything that Uncle John need, oh baby,

Yeah baby,

Well, I saw Uncle John with long tall Sally.

He saw Aunt Mary comin' and he ducked back in the alley oh baby,

Yeah baby,

Woo~

Baby~

Well, long, tall Sally.

She's built for speed, she got.

Everything that Uncle John need oh baby,

Well, I saw Uncle John with bald head Sally.

He saw Aunt Mary comin' and he ducked back in the alley oh baby,

We gonna have some fun tonight,

We gonna have some fun tonight, wow~

Have some fun tonight.

Everything's all right,

Have some fun, have me some fun tonight.

Yes, what is it? What do you want?

It's Sunny Everett, Mr. Bagley.

What's wrong? Is your father sick?

No, he's fine.

I just thought you ought to know, Mr. Bagley.

There's a rock and roll show going on at the Palladium.

Well, has your father gone crazy?

Well, he needed the money.

But I don't think he knew what he was letting himself in for.

It's a mess, Mr. Bagley. Drinking and everything.

Real sinful!

Sinful, I knew it.

You better come right over.

I certainly will, immediately.

Okay, see you over there.

Right.

Okay, you want another? You've got it.

And you're going to meet the winners of the Harvest Moon contest...

Jimmy and Jovada dancing to Little Richard and Tutti Frutti.

Wop bop a loo bop a lop bam bam!

Tutti frutti, oh rutti. [x4]

Wop bop a loo bop a lop bam bam!

I got a gal, named Sue.

She knows just what to do.

I got a gal, named Sue.

She knows just what to do.

She rocks to the East.

She rocks to the West.

She is the gal that I love best.

Tutti frutti, oh rutti. [x4]

Wop bop a loo bop a lop bam bam!

I got a gal, named Daisy.

She almost drives me crazy.

Got a gal, named Daisy.

She almost drives me crazy.

She knows how to love me, yes indeed.

Boy you don't know what she's doin' to me.

Tutti frutti, oh rutti. [x4]

Wop bop a loo bop a lop bam bam!

I got a gal, named Daisy.

She almost drives me crazy.

Got a gal, named Daisy.

She almost drives me crazy.

She knows how to love me, yes indeed.

Boy you don't know what she's doin' to me.

Tutti frutti, oh rutti. [x4]

Wop bop a loo bop a lop bam bam!

Glad Dad had you in the house.

Thank you very much.

And now you're gonna hear something real great

by those wonderful guys who work with me.

Open up your earflaps and listen to Dave Appell and The Applejacks.

Francie, I am licked.

This is the most useless two hours I have ever spent.

Nothing has happened but the most violent exercise and I simply abhor exercise.

You mean you'll retract what you said about Arnie and rock and roll?

I've swallowed bitter pills before in my lifetime.

I am sure I will live through it.

Mom, I love you.

Well, now...

You haven't said it like that since you were nine and a half.

Do we dig?

Consider it dug!

Somebody's been drinking something around here.

You don't say.

Sure, I say.

Smells like Four Roses.

Smells more like whiskey to me.

It's you.

I ain't the only one.

Oh, no, Sunny. This could be murder.

Sunny, this is gonna raise Ned.

You gotta get out of here.

No, sir.

Not before I get rid of all my liquor!

Get rid of all your...

Oh, Mother, no!

What's the matter with you, bringing liquor in here?

I didn't bring it.

What are you trying to do? Louse everything up?

I ought to slug you.

You and what glee club?

Me and a soprano's enough.

Look here!

That does it.

That washes us up for good.

It's a riot!

Yeah.

Yeah, Ted.

Yeah, I know, but the whole thing was a frame-up.

I'm telling you. That crazy Everett kid...

Yeah, all right. Goodbye, Ted.

He wants us back in New York real quick.

He says we're not only ruining ourselves.

We're ruining the entire rock and roll business.

Maybe I could murder Sunny Everett and plead self-defense.

Arnie, I'm sorry.

If I hadn't turned on so much pressure for publicity, this would never have happened.

It's not you. It's Bagley and the town and

the Carrie Nations with their hatchets, like Arline MacLaine.

Why can't they believe us about that Everett kid?

We're licked.

Let's go home and pack.

Might as well, I guess.

Yeah.

And how does the world look to Arline MacLaine's daughter this bright and cheerful day?

Oh, please...

You did our boy in good.

Just like Samson and Delilah.

Yeah, you gave him a real crew cut.

Yeah, she sure did.

All right, guys, leave her alone.

You don't have to stand there and look so self-righteous!

I believe what you said about Sunny Everett, Arnie.

Thanks.

But what I want to know is why she did it.

You want to know why?

Okay, I'll tell you. Because I'm in love with you, that's why.

Yeah, if I hadn't been so crazy as to fall in love with you...

I wouldn't have given Sunny the brush-off the way I did.

Oh, I could have buttered her up a little, at least until the dance was over.

No, I had to be real smart and fall in love with you.

You, of all people.

You, with a typewriter for a mother.

What does she do?

Stay up all night, thinking up names to call me?

I tried to argue with her, Arnie. I tried to tell her what I thought.

What do you think?

It wouldn't make any difference now.

You don't trust anything I say.

If you're gonna say something, get it over with in a hurry, because we're leaving.

You're quitting?

Let's just call it a strategic withdrawal.

But that would be admitting that they're right.

Please, listen to me.

They're not right. You are.

I even explained to my mother that

parents don't want to blame themselves for what their children are doing.

I mean, the kind that cut up classrooms and have knife fights.

They don't want to blame themselves,
